Many animals are crepuscular, that means they are only active at dusk and dawn.
Some animals retain water by burrowing into moist soil during the day.
Desert animals derive water from plants.
A few animals enter a state of estivation when the days become to hot and the vegitation is to dry.
Certain desert mammals live in underground dens which they seal off to block out midday heat and to recycle the moisture from their own breathing.
Plant Facts
Phreatophytes are plants that have adapted to arid environments by growing extremely long roots, allowing them to acquire moisture at or near the water table.
Most desert plants germinate after heavy rain, then complete their reproductive cycle very quickly.
Xerophytes are plants that have altered their structure to survive in extreme heat and lack of water.
Most cacti have the ability to store water in their stems.
Plants often have few or no leaves, which reduces transpiration.
Climate Facts
Deserts receive less than 25 cm of rain each year.
There are two types of deserts, hot deserts and cold deserts.
Average temperture is about 64 degrees fahrenheit.
The desert can be over 100 degrees fahrenheit during the day and as cold as 32 degrees at night.
